A combination of zesty and sour, this play on hummus may look benign, but it has a spicy kick and will give some heat to keep you energized for the game.

  1. This hummus has a very intense flavor! I made it for a spread on for a pita pocket. Planning on making it again just for a veggie dip. If regular hummus is getting boring, this makes it 20x better

  2. The best tasting hummus ever! I use it in wraps, sandwiches and salads too!
    I love all hummus, but this is definitely my favorite.
